Locating cavities in the ground

The VSV ground penetrating radar has established itself as an indispensable tool in the construction industry. It is used to examine the subsoil before construction begins and to localize potential hazards such as cavities or old foundations. With its non-invasive method, it is possible to obtain detailed information about underground structures and objects without physically penetrating the ground.

Technological advances in cavity detection: ground penetrating radar as a key technology.

The aim of cavity detection using VSV ground penetrating radar is to locate and map cavities in the subsurface using high-frequency electromagnetic pulses. The investigations are intended to identify potential cavities that could potentially compromise structural integrity or pose a safety risk and determine their exact location and extent.

Cavity detection also helps to verify suspected cases. During one of our ground penetrating radar missions, we found damage to an asphalt road caused by undermining and the resulting voids.

Efficiency meets environmental protection

Cost efficiency is a key aspect. The early detection of cavities helps to avoid potential damage and delays in the construction project. More detailed information about the subsurface allows construction plans to be optimized and costs to be calculated more accurately. This not only saves money, but also valuable time.

Environmental protection also benefits from cavity detection using ground penetrating radar. This is because the work with the VSV ground penetrating radar is carried out non-invasively, the ground is not destroyed during detection and measurement, so the environment is protected.

In summary, cavity detection using VSV ground penetrating radar is an extremely effective and versatile method for detecting hidden structures beneath the earth's surface and enabling precise planning and implementation of construction projects.
